Dolphins off the Welsh coast have developed their own unique accent, according to researchers and programme-makers.
Their Whistles - recorded off Cardigan Bay for The Bbc 's - were at a frequency higher than any captured elsewhere in The World .
They produce " ultra-high pitches" up to 40kHz, while humans can only hear up to about 20 kHz.
" It could be that the higher frequency whistle makes them stand out more, " Laura Palmer , a PhD student at the University of Bristol, told.
" Perhaps that's more attractive to potential mates, for example. "
She Said " perhaps it's too soon" to call it a " Welsh accent" but there were certainly differences to any dolphin Whistles recorded elsewhere.
Wonders of the Celtic Deep, episode, 1 was shown on Bbc One Wales and is available on Bbc Iplayer .
